Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Allgemein, Note: 1,0, Technische Universität Darmstadt (Institut für Allgemeine Pädagogik und Berufspädagogik), Veranstaltung: Seminar Reformschulen und Schulreform, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mit der Veröffentlichung der Ergebnisse aus der ersten PISA-Studie (Programme for International Student Assessment) aus dem Jahr 2000 setzte auch in Deutschland eine Diskussion um die Leistungsfähigkeit des nationalen Bildungssystems ein. Es wurden Ursachen für das unerwartet schwache Abschneiden der deutschen Schülerinnen und Schüler gesucht. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welche Forderungen sich anhand der in PISA getesteten Kompetenzen zum einen für eine mögliche Reform des deutschen Bildungssystems und zum anderen für die (Aus-) Bildung junger Menschen stellen lassen. Darüber hinaus wird zu überprüfen sein, ob die getesteten Kompetenzen tatsächlich das Erreichen eines bestimmten Bildungsniveaus sichern und somit jungen Menschen ein Wissen an die Hand gibt, um erfolgreich im (Erwerbs-) Leben bestehen zu können. Das erste Kapitel befasst sich mit den Begriffen Bildung, Schlüsselqualifikationen und Kompetenz. Hierzu werden verschiedene Konzepte und Definitionen gegenübergestellt, um letztendlich die Anforderungen einer modernen Wissensgesellschaft an ihre Menschen darstellen zu können. Das zweite Kapitel stellt die in PISA getesteten Basiskompetenzen (Lesekompetenz, Mathematische Kompetenz, Naturwissenschaftliche Kompetenz) dar. Zusätzlich wird das Konzept der Problemlösungskompetenz beispielhaft für den Bereich der Fächerübergreifenden Kompetenzen erläutert. Im letzten Kapitel der Arbeit werden Reaktionen auf PISA, Reformvorschläge für das Bildungssystem und Bewertungen der Studie gegenübergestellt. Es werden Vorschläge aufgezeigt und Kriterien erläutert, anhand derer eine Reform des deutschen Bildungssystems erfolgen könnte bzw. sollte. Das abschließende Resümee gibt einen Überblick über die gesamte Arbeit und bringt die wesentlichen Ergebnisse auf den Punkt und stellt einen Zusammenhang der verschiedenen Aspekte her.

A riveting story of a pivotal battle in the Seven Years’ War that changed Canadian history forever. Seventeen-year-old Sébastien de L’Espérance and his friend Guillaume have fought to keep the British from getting a foothold in Île Royale (now Cape Breton Island) ever since the young men came from France two years ago. Britain has blockaded Louisbourg, and supplies for the 4000 inhabitants are running short. Despite Louisbourg’s massive defences, if cut off from supplies provided by France, it cannot survive. Both young men are members of the Compagnies Franches de la Marine. They are sent out on scouting missions that provide valuable information about the British troops — troops which outnumber the French three to one. When British warships arrive in force, Sébastien vows to defend the town, his friend Guillaume, and the woman he loves.

“What I wanted more than anything was to be standing beside Schmidt, in concert with Schmidt, at the foot of Saint Sebastian’s Abyss along with Schmidt, hands cupped to the sides of our faces, debating art, transcendence, and the glory of the apocalypse.” Former best friends who built their careers writing about a single work of art meet after a decades-long falling-out. One of them, called to the other’s deathbed for unknown reasons by a “relatively short” nine-page email, spends his flight to Berlin reflecting on Dutch Renaissance painter Count Hugo Beckenbauer and his masterpiece, Saint Sebastian’s Abyss, the work that established both men as important art critics and also destroyed their relationship. A darkly comic meditation on art, obsession, and the enigmatic power of friendship, Saint Sebastian’s Abyss stalks the museum halls of Europe, feverishly seeking salvation, annihilation, and the meaning of belief.

French playwright, novelist, activist, and journalist Louis Sébastien Mercier (1740–1814) passionately captured scenes of social injustice in pre-Revolutionary Paris in his prolific oeuvre but today remains an understudied writer. In this penetrating study—the first in English devoted to Mercier in decades—Michael Mulryan explores his unpublished writings and urban chronicles, Tableau de Paris (1781–88) and Le Nouveau Paris (1798), in which he identified the city as a microcosm of national societal problems, detailed the conditions of the laboring poor, encouraged educational reform, and confronted universal social ills. Mercier’s rich writings speak powerfully to the sociopolitical problems that continue to afflict us as political leaders manipulate public debate and encourage absolutist thinking, deepening social divides. An outcast for his polemical views during his lifetime, Mercier has been called the founder of modern urban discourse, and his work a precursor to investigative journalism. This sensitive study returns him to his rightful place among Enlightenment thinkers.
